March CM Spotlight: The Case Manager’s Role in Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)

On Thursday, March 21 at 11 AM CST join Patricia Noonan, RN, MBA, CCM for CMSA’s CM Spotlight Series for March on “The Case Manager’s Role in Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)”

The goal of ACO’s is to reduce fragmented, uncoordinated care with an arrangement in which providers work together to achieve shared goals of better care at a lower total cost. In 2017, there were 923 public and private ACO’s across the United States covering over 32 million patients.

As a result of the growth of ACO’s across the country, the professional case manager has emerged as a valuable member of the health care team. Professional case managers are uniquely positioned with their knowledge and skills in care coordination and comprehensive care management to deliver high quality, efficient, patient-centered care in an ACO model of care delivery.
Professional case managers working in ACO models of care delivery add tremendous value to the populations served by contributing to the achievement of ACO quality measures, the Triple Aim, and National Quality Strategy.

Through this webinar you will learn the following objectives:
1. Describe the background and goals of Accountable Care Organizations.
2. Identify how case managers working in ACO models contribute to the achievement of the ACO Quality Measures, Triple Aim, and National Quality Strategy.
3. Learn how case managers can support the ACO population through quality program development and public policy advocacy.
CEs are available pending approval for CCM, RN and SW.
